Maybe try "my" code. I now got the ESP directly connected to a LiPo charged to 3.5V and it didn't change it's voltage by 1/100 of a Volt after 48h. This makes me confident that it will run fine for several month (over a year) with one measurement every 15min, even with the awful 5s uptime from a 6000mAh LiFePo4.
Maybe try "my" code. In theory it will run fine for one year one measurement every 15min, from a 450mAh LiFepo4 according to this calculator at

Thanks.

.Thanks.
Pretty sure it does work ways better in regards to battery life. But as I said: It's another "network" or "technology" that you have to implement. Maybe a bit over the top for one temperature sensor, if all other sensor work fine with the already existing infrastructure. I wish the ESP code didn't have the nasty habit to write into flash after every wifi initalisation. Then this would already help A LOT.

Maybe we can also disable the RF calibration, unless the WiFi connection fails.
Not sure how much that will save in time, but it may save more in energy as the calibration uses quite a lot of current (short bursts)

Battery powered ESP sensor. ESPNOW protocol, report every 10 minutes. Discharge curve after 3 months of operation:

My sensor with a 5000mAh LiFePo4 went down from 3.36 to 3.34 in 5 weeks. Looks promising to last a whole season.

That's a very nice achievement and I guess such low energy consumption can also be covered by a relatively small solar cell, especially if you can even cover the entire winter period on a full charge.

Cool to see that someone actually found this legacy stuff from the Nodo era

I have stopped development on this forum
Any particular reason?

There was no need for my work here and I will start working on other challenges outside ESP world.
So this will be my last post here.
Goodluck to you all!

Great loss to ESpEasy community. Best of luck for your new project.
Thanks.
